Superfreak pumpkins and gourds - a "treat" for growers from Siegers Seed Company


Holland, Michigan, USA
October 1, 2009

The U.S. economy may be scary but not Halloween sales which are expected to be a little under 6 billion dollars this year. Leading the way are the sales of Siegers Seed Company’s specialty line of Superfreak™ Pumpkins and Gourds. First to bring a pie-sized and full-sized reliably and heavily warted pumpkin to the marketplace, Siegers Seed Company dedicated over 10 generations of breeding into these varieties to perfect them. Gremlins, beautifully colored with amazing, unique shapes are unlike the small warted gourds that have been a standard in the past for fall harvest decorating.

Don’t be frightened by their names: “Knuckle Head (photo right) (patent pending), Goose Bumps (photo below) (patent pending) and Gremlins bring a “Spooktakular” profit margin as well as great customer excitement to any fall harvest display. Sales and Marketing Director, Roy Pearman said, “Our Superfreak™ Series have become bestsellers in the marketplace since they were introduced in 2008.”

With a newly updated website dedicated to the Superfreak™ Series, www.superfreakpumpkin.com, growers and consumers alike can find valuable information about all of Siegers Seed Company’s unique pumpkins, gourds and fall specialty items. Siegers Seed grower support program includes a variety of point of purchase promotional items including: banners, downloadable signage, photos and more. Consumers can find which growers in their hometown have the Superfreaks, see wonderfully scary photos of the “freaks” and download carving patterns to make their own spooky creations.


Siegers Seed Company is a distributor of a full line of fine quality vegetable seeds, specially treated for commercial growers. Founded in the early 1900’s, Siegers Seed Company is dedicated to providing a superior product, backed by the highest levels of customer support available in the industry today.
